Getting up a head of steam

PICTURED is a tiger tractor purchased by paper makers Olive and Partington in Glossop, circa 1948. It was used up until 1960 and was one of four engines that carried timber for pulp making from the railway station to the works. David Cope bought the engine in 1988 and restored it.
